Guide’s Tips & Notes
Advice for This Week
Keep an eye on the wind forecasts; conditions can change fast. Even if the bite’s been hit-or-miss, there’s still solid fishing for those putting in the effort. Run glow lures like the pink Apex, especially early or midday, and be willing to mix up lure sizes.
Changes We’re Seeing
Bite has been “up and down,” with fish sometimes visible on LiveScope but hesitant to strike. Larger kokanee are showing up alongside smaller year-class fish.
Predictions for Next Week
Wind shouldn’t hurt the bite moving forward. Expect continued mixed bags of kings, kokanee, and rainbows, with opportunities for quality kokanee in the 2–2.5 lb range.
